U CA How well I remember, as I am sure the rest of my classmates do, that bright September morning in 1948, when our class of eighty-three embarked upon our high school educational pro- gram which was to last for six years. The first week of the seventh grade was the hardest with new teachers, new friends, a new school system, and for many a new building with which to get acquainted. I recall several roller skating parties and the visit to Crystal Grottoes, Washington's Monument at Boonsboro, and the Smithsburg Reservoir. We learned to work and play together as the months rolled by. Finally, June arrived and with it that three month's vacation to which we had looked forward with anxious faces. I remember that second year at S.H.S. we were not so shy and timid. We had grown another year and were ready to adapt ourselves to the change in our sections. Mrs. Helen Bikle and Mr. John Pike were our advisers. One day our math class under the guidance of Mr. Glenn Bushey visited the Nicodemus National Bank in Hagerstown and the Antietam Battlefield with Mrs. Helen Bikle. How proud we were to be runner-up in the girls' bowling tournament, and so we began to take our places in sports. In May we chose our courses for the following year. Although our school months seemed to speed by at a rapid pace we were not sorry to see June arrive. ln September, 1950, I remember that we placed ourselves firmly on the first step of the high school ladder as Freshmen. We did not get quite as much respect as the Seniors, but we were anxious to start the upward climb. This was the year in which we began to earn those precious sixteen points for graduation, and promotion was by subject and not grade. Some of us had time to enter extra-curricular activities. With our faces still sunburned, we came back to school in the fall of 1951 as Sophomores. Our boys basketball team got a real lift when Kenny Holloway became a member of our class. This proved to be one of our best years in sports with boys and girls from our class on every varsity team. I remember that our French class and teacher, Miss Marsada Yeakle, attended a tea at Hagerstown High School, and our biology class with Mr. Ralph Rohrbaugh visited the Fish Hatchery at Mt. Lena. Some of us were asked to serve on the Yearbook Staff for the following year. Shirley Cowan was crowned Queen of the Lions Club Minstrel. Ishall never forget that final outing our class held at Hershey Park in June. The next year I remember us as Juniors. We were elated when we received our school rings. Many of us took driver training and secured our license to drive a car. Iremember that Janet Davis placed second in the annual magazine drive and Sarah Slick kept our class in swing when she entered the I Speak for Democracy contest. In order to raise money for our J unior-Smior Prom we sponsored a square dance and sold pencils with the basketball schedule on them. We all agreed that the preparation for our prom took a lot of work but it was worth it. When the last bell rang on J une the twelfth, a busy but wonderful school year came to a close and with it a gladness in our hearts-we were SENIORSI How well I remember on September 8, thirty-seven of us entered the doors of S.H.S. for our final and most memorable year. As sophisticated seniors we were assigned to the traditional homeroom, the science laboratory, under the guiding eyes of Mr. Charles Boyce. CLASS COLORS - RED AND WHITE M ,. gran,
